With Q2 drawing to a close, we’re gearing up to produce GenInsights Quarterly Update for this quarter. Timely to look back at Q1 at what was reported about curtailment of wind and solar in that earlier Quarterly Update.
In conjunction with the analysis done to complete GenInsights Quarterly Update for Q1 2023 (released today), here’s 14 years of daily data of ‘Aggregate Scheduled Target’ that might help to illustrate the aggregate requirement for fully dispatchable capacity of some type as the closure of coal accelerates into the future.
A quick note on Wednesday 31st May 2023 to mark the release of GenInsights Quarterly Update for Q1 2023.
With completion of GenInsights Quarterly Update for Q1 2023 approaching, and following some conversations recently (and probably this week at EUAA Conference) here are two charts looking backwards just at fully dispatchable plant that highlight one of the ways in which ‘the level of risk in the NEM is escalating’.
Tristan Edis from Green Energy Markets takes a deep dive into generator performance across the NEM. He provides his take on which wind and solar farms have outperformed and underperformed, through the recent renewable investment boom.

In today’s article (a third snippet from GenInsights Quarterly Update for Q4 2022) we take a look at levels of large ‘Aggregate Raw Off-Target’ (i.e. large collective deviations away from Target), which continue to grow for the Semi-Scheduled category and remind us of that question …
Here on this site, and also in real discussions in the offline world, we have been pondering this question for a number of years. For instance, it was pondered in Theme 13 (‘What’s the future for Participation Categories in the…
This second excerpt from GenInsights 2022 Q4 Update highlights some of what’s seen in terms of the performance of coal units.
This first excerpt from GenInsights Quarterly Update for Q4 2022 looks specifically at the trended level of adoption of self-forecasting for Semi-Scheduled Solar Farms in the NEM. This article on Monday 26th February 2023 precedes some changes AEMO might make on Tuesday 27th February 2023.
Today, more than 14 months after the publication of GenInsights21 we’re sharing Key Observation 15 of 22, relating to self-forecasting for Semi-Scheduled units.
On Tuesday 21st February 2023 the AEMO published an update on its 2022 ESOO.
Following an Executive Briefing last week to one client, this week we released the PDF Report for GenInsights Quarterly Update for Q4 2022. Here’s some information to explain what it is.
Nick Bartels of Greenview Strategic Consulting uses the price energy harvest metric from our GSD2022 data extract to examine the recent performance of each fuel type within the NEM.
David Leitch of ITK Services provides his top insights from the GSD2022, which he has used to look into generation mix, constraints and firming.
